A review by jazzab1971
Doctor Who and the Zarbi by Bill Strutton
adventurous
tense
slow-paced
2.0
Rather a plodding retelling of this Hartnell story which is rather misogynistic in it's handling of the women.
Strutton rather annoyingly refers to the Doctor as "Doctor Who" throughout and his description of the TARDIS interior suggests he has never actually watched the show, not even his own story.
I've been reading (or re-reading in many cases) the Target novels in story order and this turgid retelling comes as rather a jolt after the excellence of "The Romans".
